Recently, the sci-fi film Dune dune directed by Denis Villeneuve and starring Timothy Chalmed, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac and others was officially released. While receiving praise from the outside world, some viewers also said that they were sleepy in the cinema, so what exactly is this movie about?
It should be noted that the film is based on the 1965 science fiction novel of the same name by American writer Frank Herbert, Dune. As one of the most influential science fiction giants in the United States, his "Dune" can be described as a huge success, and has been called "a must-read classic in the history of science fiction".
Returning to the film, it tells the story of the Ertridi family, who rule the ocean planet Kaledan, who accept an edict from Emperor Shaddam IV of Padisa to take charge of the desert planet Erakos, and after being betrayed, the heir of the Ertridi family, Paul (Timothy Chalmede), embarks on a difficult road to defend the family and guard peace.
The film is very clear on a narrative level, and it is reflected in the relationship between Paul (Timothy Chalmed) and Mrs. Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson), the contradictions between the Ertridy family and the Hakenam family, and it is the tension-filled conflicts that make the whole story even more thrilling.
At the beginning of the film, the dialogue between Paul and Mrs. Jessica at the dinner table is intriguing, paving the way for the next plot advancement, and the scene where Mrs. Jessica, a member of the Sorority, takes Paul to see the Virgin mary and struggles to recite the words at the door, which not only shows the different images of the two key characters, but also slowly deepens the conflict between the roles of the mother and son themselves.
In addition, the visual presentation of the film is simply a must, whether it is a very impactful battle scene or a magnificent desert, the poetic mystery comes to the face, especially the giant sandworms that appear in the film, which makes the audience scream and shock.
It is worth mentioning that the soundtrack produced by Hans Zimmer also makes the film particularly charming in the creation of the sense of atmosphere, and this is another surprise collaboration between him and director Dennis Villeneuve after "Blade Runner 2049".
In fact, Hans Zimmer was also a big fan of this science fiction novel, when director Christopher Nolan wanted to invite Hans Zimmer to make a soundtrack for the movie "Creed", but out of love for "Dune", Hans Zimmer eventually rejected Christopher Nolan and devoted all his energy to "Dune".

In order to be able to produce music that suits the atmosphere of the film, Hans Zimmer made many attempts, such as the addition of bagpipe elements with sci-fi winds that seem to be somewhat abrupt, but in this film it is used just right, the slightly mysterious melody hides a magnificent momentum, and the elegant shallow chant reveals a huge amount of energy.
Whether it is "Bene Gesserit", known as the "Soul Reaper", or the bold "Expedition Song" "Leaving Caladan", these soundtrack works are still worth savoring again and again. As the master scorer put it, "The whole process of making the soundtrack to Dune is actually a constant quest for boundaries full of impenetries. ”
Foreign media once commented on "Dune": "Watching "Dune" now is like watching "2001: A Space Odyssey" in 1968. "Yes, this epic sci-fi film deserves a second or even a third brush. Finally, let's also look forward to the unfinished science fiction story of Dune.
